Thanks for the answers and suggestions everyone! The speed issue I have is that simple things, like popup menues, clicking on tabs of a pagecontrol, changing tasks ...almost everything is handled too slowly. Compared to what I am used to, the delay is quite disturbing. The other kind of slowness is that when the screen is refreshed it is slow enough to see the different areas refreshing one by one. All together it feeling is similar to working in a web browser. The PC is an older one: Celeron 1700 CPU, 512MB RAM, 200GB HDD (10 GB for Ubuntu), Integrated Video, but I think it should be decent enough for running Linux. There was enough free RAM so the slowness could not have been caused by disk swaping either.
So, one thing is already clear, I will need a proper driver for the video card for sure. But realy would not want to be offtopic any longer, I better go to the Ubuntu forums to seek for more specific help. Thanks for all the reactions again, Leslie _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lazarus.freepascal.org http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
